Recreation

Astride the Continental Divide in southwest Montana, the 3.3-million-acre Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest is the nation's undiscovered jewel. Across the dozen or so mountain ranges that are in the forest, there's a variety of recreational opportunity.

Here you can find the primitive experience of wilderness, the freedom of driving backcountry roads and trails, fishing high-mountain lakes and streams and the serenity of small campgrounds, where dinner tastes extra good because it was made over an open fire!

Explore with us the many aspects and elevations of recreation in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
